Rudd measure links jabs to tax benefits


Parents who register as "conscientious objectors" to prevent their children being vaccinated will miss out on a family tax benefit supplement of more than $2000 if the Rudd government is re-elected.



Prime Minister Kevin Rudd will on Sunday announce the lifting of the existing exemption for such parents in a bid to lift childhood immunisation rates, News Corp Australia reports.

Under the proposal their children will have to be fully immunised in order to receive the Family Tax Benefit Part A end-of-year supplement.

The supplement is worth $726 per child each year. It is only paid once a child is fully immunised at one, two and five years of age.

The government argues this provides families with an incentive of more than $2100 to ensure their children are fully immunised.

Under the latest Rudd proposal, exemptions will apply on medical and religious grounds only.

The existence of unimmunised children has given rise to concerns that children in some communities are at risk of contracting diseases such as measles and whooping cough.
 
"The science cannot be disputed," News Corp reported Mr Rudd as saying.

"Immunisation is the safest and most effective way for parents to protect their children from disease, and one of the most important public health measures at our disposal."

Deputy Greens leader Adam Bandt says his party will support the move.

"It's really an extension of the existing arrangements ... in principle it sounds like a good idea," he told reporters in Melbourne.

The government tells you what is best for 'your' children.

There are many concerns that vaccinations are factually doing more harm than good, and in all cases, there are drugs in the vaccinations that the 'authorities' apparently have little knowledge of the side effects.

Even though you may consider your children to be yours, despite the fact that the registration of a person, makes them government property, and they are treated as such.

The government has the power to take away 'your' children, as shown in the 'Stolen Generation' disgrace in Australia's history.

The government also puts sterilisation drugs into the vaccine, unknown to the parents and children.
 
 Policies implemented by a truly dictatorial government.

You are given the illusion that you have freedom.
